Cyclist run over by car metres from his home

The victim, Amitabh Jain, lived with his wife, barely 600 to 700 metres from the accident site. The hit-and-run was captured on multiple CCTV cameras installed in the upscale neighbourhood.

According to police, Jain was known to take morning walks or cycle around the quiet lanes of his colony, a routine he followed for years. On Wednesday, he stepped out for a short ride and had barely moved a few hundred metres from his house when a white Santro, bearing a Delhi registration number, rammed into him from behind around 7.14am.
